Before Oculus or The Haunting of Hill House, Mike Flanagan wrote and directed this terrifying and atmospheric movie focused on people (and pets) disappearing near a tunnel in L.A. A pregnant wife whose husband has been missing for seven years declares him dead “in absentia” only to find it’s much more complicated. The film utilizes shifting perspectives to question sisters Tricia and Callie’s reality, but the shocking final scenes leave no doubt about the true horror in the tunnel.

An antique book dealer (Johnny Depp) and creepy collector (Frank Lagella) square off in this tense horror/thriller about a tome that supposedly summons the devil. Using a classic film noir style, the film slowly draws Depp into a broader mystery, while the understated action gradually builds to a fiery climax at the gates of hell.

Damien Leone’s indie slasher flick is an absolutely brutal gore fest featuring a truly grotesque and evil villain — Art the Clown — who terrorizes two young women on Halloween night. The franchise has already spawned a trilogy, but it’s definitely not for squeamish viewers.
